Entity attributes conflict with PostgreSQL keywords --------------------------------------------------- Key: EJBTHREE-637 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-637 Project: EJB 3.0 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: EJB 3.0 RC8 - FD Reporter: Seweryn Niemiec Assigned To: Emmanuel Bernard I have EJB3 Entity with attribute "desc". Hibernate can't create SQL table for it. 13:58:11 DEBUG impl.Log4JLogger SchemaExport - create table ports (id int8 not null, name varchar(80) not null, desc varchar(240), device_ip varchar(15) not null, primary key (id)) 13:58:11 ERROR impl.Log4JLogger SchemaExport - Unsuccessful: create table ports (id int8 not null, name varchar(80) not null, desc varchar(240), device_ip varchar(15) not null, primary key (id)) 13:58:11 ERROR impl.Log4JLogger SchemaExport - ERROR: syntax error at or near "desc" Maybe I don't understand something (because it's hard to believe) but SchemaExport component doesn't use delimited identifiers to escape column names.
